TAS ’12 Ellen O’Donnell joined scientists in a small boat to take close-up photos of whales, including this pair of North Atlantic right whales.

Today I got to go in the little gray boat and we sped across the water to get close-up shots of whales. There is a list of right whales that need biopsies.... We took close up shots of both the left and right heads of each whale and checked to make sure it wasn’t one we needed to biopsy. Remember, you identify right whales by their callosities. While we didn’t find any that needed biopsies, we got close to eleven right whales!Read the blog post
